‘Mutilation’ of soldiers: We also carry out retaliatory action, says army chief

Srinagar: The Indian army does not reveal plans before executing them, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said on Thursday, indicating possible retaliation to the Pakistan military allegedly beheading two Indian soldiers in Poonch area Jammu and Kashmir on May 1, a news agency reported.
Replying to a volley of questions on whether the army will respond to the act, Rawat, without giving a direct reply, said the armed forces will effectively respond to such actions by the neighbouring country, the report added.
“We do not talk about future plans beforehand. We share details after execution of the plan,” Gen Rawat was quoted by the report as saying, refusing to elaborate further.
“When this kind of action takes place, we also carry out retaliatory action”. The army chief was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an event in New Delhi, the report added.
